This house is representative of the villa style architecture that was employed in the residential development of western Cobh in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though as house appears on this site on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, the architectural form of the building suggests a turn of the century date. The building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, decorative render detail and fine entrance.

TravaraHouse · 122 yd

Explorer Tom Travara in Ringacoltig is all Tudor Revival style, which basically means it thinks it’s five hundred years old but it’s just dressing up for the party. The seagulls definitely have opinions on its steep roofs. Ideal place to hide from your phone.

Trellis CottageHouse · 181 yd

Explorer Tom Trellis Cottage in Ringacoltig is an Arts and Crafts style beauty from the late nineteenth century. It’s got a verandah and all sorts of window types that make the façade look really lively. It even has a gate lodge, so very proper suburban living.

Coolgreine HouseHouse · 196 yd

Explorer Tom Coolgreine House in Ringacoltig is an imposing five-bay house from around 1820! It’s got canted bay windows and a portico that make it look absolutely grand. The asymmetric fenestration is a real talking point here!

IndicatedDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 915 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Ringacoltig is a tree-ring that looks like it was drawn by a drunk architect. The day it was nearly sold for a horse, the buyer walked away laughing. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

BarrowBarrow, mound barrow · 943 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Barrow in Ringmeen is one of four mounds where the exact location is 'not known', which is code for 'good luck finding it'. It’s near a kennel, so expect barking. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost.

Monkstown CastleHouse, fortified house · 1657 yd

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
